About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner uses the assets they have to make the loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an business asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing additional financing using the value of what you already own.
What do I require security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money, however we do need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as detailed in your loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. For loans of over $150K generally, there is a personal ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
